This is what a lifetime of doing a skill the right way gets you. Truly impressive to watch your speed and control as you operate each piece of equipment. I have never seen you abuse or force a machine to do anything beyond its capabilities or design in any videos. Proof that the right way isn't always the hard way. Thanks for sharing.

What gets me the most with your jobs is how fast you get it done. I always have to shake my head when you get to the end of a video and say "So what I've done this morning is..." and rattle off about 5 or 6 things... EACH of which would take someone like me a couple days to do. So what you manage to pull off in half a day, I'd still be working on after a week (and probably wouldn't have it right). :)

Reminds me of the time my family lived in apartments owned by my uncle in the 1960's. We had endless problems with the toilet clogging. My uncle chewed out my mother for putting stuff down the toilet that should not go in it, but she denied doing it. He did most of the building maintenance himself and got tired of snaking out the line, over and over. He finally took the sewer line apart to find out what was going on. It seems, back in the 1940's, when the apartments were built, plumbers installed a section of sewer pipe without knowing that a length of 2x4 was inside it. Mystery solved!

I worked in New home construction for a long time. Saw many examples of one trade getting made with another. Did you know you could take a coin and put it into a piece of conduit, just far enough to not be seen? Electrician starts to pull wire causing the coin to jam. A glass drink bottle dropped into a 4" soil line will jam at the first elbow. Motor oil poured between ungrouted tile will stain the grout
